About this episode
The episode discusses the financial impact of the Iran war, recent developments regarding a shooting incident, and a Supreme Court decision affecting Louisiana's congressional map.
Iran war has cost $25 billion to date, defense official says, as Hegseth faces questions about war strategy. The round that struck a U.S. Secret Service officer during Saturday's shooting outside the ballroom where the White House Correspondents' Dinner was taking place was not friendly fire, multiple senior law enforcement officials told CBS News Wednesday. The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana's congressional map that includes two majority-Black districts, delivering a significant victory for Republicans in a major decision that narrows the landmark Voting Rights Act.
